The binding offer is final and replaces any other calculations of space or weight after loading the truck.

3. Additional charges that may apply:

3.1. StairsFirst flight is included for free on both pickup and Delivery, (maximum of 7 steps).
Every additional flight of stairs will be charged at $75.00 per flight. This charge is to cover the extra time for labor spent going up and down the stairs and is charged just to cover the difference between different homes.

3.5. Truck access and SHUTTLE service.

Most situations do not require a shuttle; however, if such service is required it will be charged at $1/cubic foot to transfer your items, with a minimum charge of $250. Price is subject to increase if inventory is increased at the time of the pickup. There is no way for the moving company to check access to an address prior to shipment so it is a customer responsibility to check if his/hers delivery address is accessible to a 53′ full trailer. Otherwise the driver will inform in case it is needed.

3.6. ​Bulky Item/Handling charges.
Any items that cannot be safely stacked on top of or beneath another item and/or requires the usage of special elevation equipment.

4. Customer Responsibilities

4.1. Customer pre-move responsibilities:

Complete packing as indicated.

Determine your insurance option and make prior arrangements with outside carrier if needed.

Alert your Relocation Consultant of any changes that may affect the agreement, including changes in the inventory, pickup or delivery address. You have to send any changes in writing (fax or email) and you need to get a response on our behalf. Call our sales office just to double check we got your update.

Determine your first day ready for delivery or ask for storage in our California facilities if needed.

4.2. Customer move day responsibilities:

Be present for the day of the move. If you cannot be there B-52 Van Lines must be notified. A responsible authorized representative has to be there to make decisions and sign the contract. Request from your agent a Power Of Attorney form (POA) and fax or email it back to us.

If paying with a credit card on move day the owner of the card has to be present or provide a credit card authorization form. Or leave sufficient funds with your representative.

4.3. Customer Delivery responsibilities:

Check access to a 53′ trailer on delivery address (local authority should have that answer for you)

Make sure you are available to receive your Items and prepare proper payment (cash or money order only unless paid by credit card on pickup)

If your move was stored with us before you had an address or date ready you must send us an email with that info and make sure we responded. Email to customercare@b52vanlines.com.

REMEMBER – once the truck with your belongings has loaded for delivery and started traveling there is no way to change dates and addresses. Any changes will result in very expensive expanses such as finding and renting a local storage and paying for a redelivery for labor and a local truck.

5. Moving out of Storage
Some customers have their belongings stored in a storage unit or a garage. In these cases it somewhat difficult for the customer to provide a list of items in the storage. Ether because they are piled up and in many cases the customers don’t remember exactly what they stored.

5.1. Common Issues that arise when moving out of storage:

5.1.1Packing: Most people back things to their storage loosely, partially packed, packed in garbage plastic bags, missing lids for boxes, fragile Items covered with only blankets etc. also sometimes boxes stored for long period of time will absorb moisture and disintegrate. The moving company will have to make sure that everything is packed properly in order to load on the truck. Remember that disposable packing materials and labor to pack are at an additional cost.

5.1.2 Size of move:

Some people sometimes are not sure of the exact size of the storage unit when they call to get an estimate. A customer can remember his unit size is 15X10X10 and when we show up its actually 15X12X10. This is a 300CF difference and will translate into hundreds of dollars more on your bill.

Another example is a customer that don’t remember exactly how full it is. The difference between a half full storage units to 70% full unit can be hundreds of dollars.

Remember – eventually you will have to pay for the actual space you take on the truck. Avoid surprises and try to get the most accurate information.

5.1.3 Presence of customer. Many customers have their belongings stored in one state and they are in a different state and not present on the day of the move.
We require the customer presence or someone on his behalf to be there to sign the contract and to authorize the different charges. If you canon be present please ask your agent for a “Special Power of Attorney” form to authorize your representative to sign for you.
No storage facility allows their employees to sign any legal documents for their customers so don’t assume they will do that on move day.

6. Payment:

6.1. Booking Deposit: $95 reservation deposit (sum may change due to specifics of your move, last minute bookings etc.). This deposit is deducted from the total cost of your move and is fully refundable up to 72 hours before the date of the move.

7. Delivery time frame:

Final delivery date is subject to many different factors: availability of trucks, conditions on the way but fundamentally this is a shared load delivery. Like all other moving companies we combine several customers on 1 53′ truck going to the same destination, hence the delivery time is subject to many changes.

Average time frame to deliver is 7-14 days on average. The terms of the contract are 1-30 business days from the FIRST DAY CUSTOMER IS READY FOR DELIVERY. We cannot guarantee a specific delivery date (unless you book a full 18 wheeler to far states or a 26’ truck to a close state).

REMEMBER – We want to deliver as fast as possible. We lose money for every day we don’t.
If you change your first date available for delivery at any time, you must email us immediately with your new first date available. Make sure to notify us as soon as possible about your availability to receive your items so we can schedule you on the first truck leaving to your destination. Remember that all expected delivery dates can still change on the move for various reasons and even if you got an update on the go that date can still change. You will receive a call from the driver a day before delivery to set up a time for it.

8. Communication and confirmation:

8.1. Pickup: A confirmation call will be made by our office the afternoon before your move at the latest. Confirmation calls are usually made between 1pm-5pm. We must speak with you at this time to ensure you or a representative of yours will be available on the day of your move. If our staff cannot contact you via phone by 6pm the day before your move, you will be taken off the schedule (for am arrivals), and re-schedules after we have spoken with you.

8.2. We allow all inventory updates and rescheduling up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled move – NO PENALTY.

It is not built to withstand the normal stresses of a move as an assembled unit. Chips and dents are not repairable. Surface impressions can be made on this type of furniture when writing on a single sheet of paper. Assembly instructions frequently suggest that connecting hardware pieces be glued in place. This does not significantly improve the structural integrity of the pieces, but does not make disassembly possible without creating substantial, un-repairable damage.
